New in 2018, we are partnering with Read Aloud West Virginia to help them expand and develop their Volunteer Reader program in the coalfields of Southern West Virginia. Currently, our Community Impact Coordinator Christina Cowley is involved on the Board of Fayette and Raleigh County chapters, and will be working in our other counties to start up and support chapters. This partnership began as we tried to brainstorm how we could scale our own reading initiative to include more of our service area, and we discovered that there was already an organization doing this. We decided to work with them to accomplish our shared goal of improving literacy rates in children and building a better workforce for tomorrow!
If you would like to be involved in Read Aloud West Virginia in any of our 7 counties, please contact our Community Impact Coordinator Christina Cowley at ccowley@unitedwayswv.org or by calling our office.
